What are cookies?
"Cookies" are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information between visits. "Local storage" is a similar mechanism that stores data only in your browser without sending it back to a server.
Cookies we set directly

- Your preferred theme (light or dark mode).
- Whether you have dismissed our cookie consent notice.
- Optional data you save in calculators such as the Adaptive TDEE tool.
This information stays on your device and is never transmitted to us.
